EDITORIAL: State budget was a missed opportunity | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
New York state’s new budget for 2021-22 isn’t just a budget of excess.
It’s a budget of poor decision-making, sloppiness and missed opportunity that will saddle New York taxpayers with mountains of taxes for years without having fixed the state’s most serious problems.
The covid crisis once threatened to devastate state finances and add to the state’s burgeoning debt. President Trump and congressional Republicans could not be relied on to provide fiscal relief to blue states devastated by the pandemic, meaning New York was likely to have to undertake serious austerity measures just to keep its finances afloat.
Biggest education investment in state history bolsters all districts – but some more than others | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
A $1.4 billion down payment on fully funding the state’s core education funding formula by the 2023-2024 school year will boost state aid to many suburban and urban districts by 10 percent or more, while mostly rural districts will see increases of around 3 percent.
State lawmakers in the state budget passed Tuesday night committed to fully fund state foundation aid over the next three years – a state formula used to determine district funding amounts by accounting for poverty levels, students with special learning needs, regional costs difference and other factors. The commitment was hailed as a major achievement for education advocates and will result in tens of millions of dollars flowing into Schenectady, Amsterdam and other districts across the region over the coming years.
